ATTENDEES
Facilitating Investment Between African Energy Markets and Global Investors
The Invest in African Energy Forum (IAE) 2026 united the global investment community and showcased Africa’s most dynamic energy and infrastructure projects. As traditional financial institutions restricted fossil fuel lending, IAE focused on catalyzing new sources of capital, from development finance institutions and multilateral development banks to private equity and pension funds, while promoting the role of diversified energy investment in Africa’s energy security, industrialization, and energy transition.

IAE means something special and those gathered here represent resilience – about who we are, about Africa and where we are as an industry. Whether it’s oil or natural gas, we believe that we all need energy. We have to demand a just energy transition for Africa. We have to produce every drop of hydrocarbons in order for us to transition to cleaner energies.
